Several times while streaming now i have a new error pop up saying there was a problem streaming the program and to Try again. I click try again, it resumes for a good amount of time and the error pops up again...

Have you checked the image quality of the source material? I've experienced an issue with MRS when my source had some pixelation/stuttering due to a signal cable issue on the source channel. The receiving TiVo Premiere saw the signal degradation as an MRS issue and gave an error similar to yours.

When I went back and viewed the source material I saw definite degradation and pixelation in the source program at the location where the receiving Premiere was declaring an MRS failure.

MRS has been the same for me since the update. That said, however, every now and then when I am streaming btwn Tivos I will get an interruption (it implies loss of wireless connection) during a show/movie but when I click on 'try again' or 'play' I'm right back in.

I don't know why this happens as I have a good internet connection and I cannot even remember the last time I lost service. So I just figure it as a momentary glitch somewhere, probably outside of the Tivos or with the wireless adapter/s. It might happen every few times I am streaming or it might happen in 1 in 10. But it doesn't happen that often and I am always able to immediately get back to the program.

Right but i would rather get a few seconds of video shudder, compared to a message popping up every time

I'm having streaming issues with the 20.2.1.1 software update on my 2 TiVo Premieres as well.

When I attempt to stream between them, which worked perfectly before this update, I'm getting a paragraph error message stating that my 2 devices may not be on the same network (they are). When this first happened after the 20.2.1.1 update, I just rebooted both boxes and then was able to stream between them. About 5 hours later when attempting to stream a different show, I got the network error message again. Even tho streaming 'thinks' my 2 TiVo's are on different networks, I'm able to transfer shows between them without issue.
Hopefully this is something TiVo is looking into....

If you see a message questioning whether your two devices are on the same home network, please email me the TiVo Service Numbers of both boxes, and let me know how your network is configured. (Wired, wireless, MoCA) etc.margret@tivo.com

All I can say is that with a wired network I use MRS every day between 2 Premieres and it has been flawless for me before and after this latest software update. Best feature added by TiVo in many, many years. MRS requires a stable network without temporary dropouts or high packet losses that can plague wireless networks.

I'm a 20 year vet of IT and for half of that a network engineer creating transcontinental LANs. Believe me when I tell you my LAN has no pl or dropouts. It easily triples tivos transfer capability. Steadily. I know because I monitor it.

Additionall let's just think Occam's Razor here. TiVo introduced streaming when a network was in place. It streamed easily. TiVo released a software update and that same day it started to fail to stream. Transfer throughput on non flagged content is maxed. People with wired networks have this issue.

It's obvious TiVo screwed it. Like they do every time they force feed their mandatory beta upgrades. Clearly they have an extremely limited beta pool either in expertise or size, perhaps both.

Can anyone really recommend a TiVo premiere with cable card and tuning adaptor to a person who just wants to watch tv?

Oh and just for kicks they advertise to you on top of your monthly charges.

It's just shocking they still have a user base. When Mrv or central dvr hits all major cable....TiVo is going to be out of business. The only good thing they have is customer service.....service not support. Support people are never told anything but they sure are nice.

1 Premiere and 2 Elite's. Mostly wired network with 1 on new 500mbs Powerline. One of the units keeps disappearing from the available MRS list. On reboot it shows back up for 2 or 3 days and disappears again. Streaming works great though. Love it when the devices are there.
